Thanks Logan! Shiny insects are a work in progress for me. Some day I'll get consistent:)
I have the same problem with the flash. These turned out really nice though :)
Thanks for all your kind words James! I've always struggled photographing these and getting the flash right. In the past, I've always drowned it out, or it was too dark. I was pleasantly surprised with this one.
Adorable, great color, great shot!
